Chapter 6 You Are Just A Pet to Him
Courtney helped Lilian take off the helmet. Both of them were soaking wet, but the coffee bags in Lilian's arms were intact.
"These people are crazy. How could they not have a coffee machine in such a big company?" Courtney complained, taking the coffee takeout from Lilian's hand and smiling at her.
"Sweetheart, wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Lilian nodded and silently walked to the front gate to wait.
The rain was getting heavier, and after this rain, winter would come soon.
Lilian looked at the heavy rain outside, and her look became somewhat distant.
It was raining just as heavily the day Grandpa Thomas took her to the Landau family. At that time, she timidly hid behind Grandpa Thomas, enduring the surveying gaze of nine-year-old Francis.
Francis asked who she was.
At that time, Thomas joked, "She's the wife I found for you. What do you think?"
Nine-year-old Francis sneered, "I don't want a skinny monkey as my wife."
At that time, she was super skinny, with dry, yellow hair, weighing probably less than the monkeys in the zoo.
But then he said, "If you don't eat more, you will be too skinny to be my wife."
She knew he was joking, but she took it seriously every time.
Lilian was lost in thought when a voice brought her back to reality.
"With such heavy rain, I don't want to work today. I'm leaving now."
Julian, who was on her phone, walked out of the company gate in high heels with a model-like stride. She turned her head and saw Lilian, drenched.
"Lilian?"
She was on the phone with Francis, and he heard her calling out Lilian's name from the other end of the line.
Julian turned to glance at the building gate behind and then glanced back at Lilian. She hung up the phone and asked her, "Are you here to see Frank?"
Lilian waved her hand to indicate that she wasn't here to see him.
Julian raised an eyebrow and walked towards Lilian. Her surveying eyes were like x-rays.
"Frank says you're innocent, but I don't think you're at all. Coming here and getting yourself drenched like this just to see him?" Julian said mockingly, reaching out and pinching a wet strand of hair on Lilian's shoulder. "Oh, you do look pitiful."
"Lilian stared at Julian, whose face was full of smugness and pride.
"But what will this bring to you? To Frank, you're just like a pet," Julian sneered."
"He pat a puppy's head, and you think that's love? Don't bother with these thoughts."
